Never played an RPG before or haven’t played in years? Don’t worry. I’ll teach you everything you need. 

Experienced Player?

From awesome table set-ups to complex and satisfying adventures, I got something for you too.

Deep Immersion

Adventures are more than just dice and paper – they’re music, visuals, miniatures, lighting, and terrain.

Any game. Any place.

Games for birthdays, team building exercises, or Bachelorette/ Bachelor parties. Get the crew together!

1 – Gather your Party

Games work best with 3-6 people, but if you have more or less, I can adapt!

The Starlight Circus is on the run. 

You’re a traveling circus performer, going from town to town in a world full of airships, steam powered train cars, and really eccentric little freaks. A few years ago, Taxidermy Tom bought the circus and started cutting corners where ever he could.

Things came to a head mere moments ago, in the city of New Hope, when the popcorn gun exploded, setting fire to the big top, and causing a riot! You start the game surrounded by angry ticket holders and guards. 

Can you clear your name? Or can you at least escape the city?

 

Perfect for:
  • Heavy Roleplayers
  • Whimsy and Hijinx Enjoyers
  • Mystery Solvers

Digging in the Sand

Bones. So many bones. How many people have been buried here?

You find a rusty long sword and a small, golden vulture head worth 250 gp.

Red Sand

The sand here on the edge of the sacrificial ground is loose and looks recently churned.

What happens if I dig under it?

Vulture Priest

The Vulture Priests are the enemy of knowledge and enlightenment. They seek to bring the eternal silence, the end of all things. Decay and obedience is their only god.

THAC0 19 [0]

Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
